What’s Included In My Impressionism Art Lesson

Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though! 

I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this Cezanne art project. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:

• Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
• “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own elements
• Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick elements and you can integrate technology in the art room
• Printable dice template in case you have no dice
• Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
• Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas
• Paul Cezanne Artist biography about the life and work of this French Impressionist painter, so you don’t need to research
• “Big Ideas” reflection worksheet where students write about their art process 
• Self-assessment worksheet so kids can think about how they performed during the project
• Art grading rubric which assesses expectations, craftsmanship, work habits, creativity, and clean-up
• 8 “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
• 4 Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts
• Art history coloring pages to keep kids inspired by Paul Cezanne’s still-life paintings outside of the art room

I bought all of these available. Students loved them, and they are great for when you need something quick, enjoyable, and educational. I appreciate the many options, as the games never get old. Also, the pictures never turn out the same way twice.

My classes LOVE the roll-a-dice worksheets. They are always asking to use them. They are a great resource for early finishers and substitutes as well.

This is such a fun way to change up art class while learning about Cezanne! My students are going to love this – especially those students who love games and options! Thank you!
